Ico

« Driving (Night) | Main | Bloodshot »

Last night I finished Ico. Considering I had started this game Tuesday or Wednesday this week, I'd say it went by pretty quickly. I enjoyed it.

If you've played Shadow of the Colossus before Ico, you'll notice that the games are visually and interactively similar, but quite different in terms of your "mission" during the game. In Shadow of the Colossus, all the puzzle and "work" in the game was in figuring out how to and then defeating each colossus. Riding out to each colossus from the central tower was merely an exercise. In Ico, all the puzzle and "work" in the game was not in any singular bosses that you had to defeat, but in making your way through the various stages. There is a main boss at the end of Ico, the Queen, whom you also have to figure out how to defeat. But, I'd say she was far less troublesome than some of the colossi.

Anyhoo, another game bites the dust.
